xStack Gigabit Layer 3 Switch Command Line Interface Manual
create vlan
user may choose between an 802.1Q VLAN or a protocol-based
VLAN.
Parameters
<vlan_name 32>
−
The name of the VLAN to be created.
tag <vlanid 2-4094>
−
The VLAN ID of the VLAN to be created.
Allowed values = 2-4094
type
– This parameter uses the
type
field of the packet header to
determine the packet protocol and destination VLAN. There are
two main choices of types for VLANs created on the Switch:
1q_vlan
– Allows the creation of a normal 802.1Q VLAN
on the Switch.
advertisement
−
Specifies that the VLAN is able to join
GVRP. If this parameter is not set, the VLAN cannot be
configured to have forbidden ports.
The following parameters allow for the creation of protocol-based
VLANs. The Switch supports 15 pre-configured protocol-based
VLANs plus one user defined protocol based VLAN where the
administrator may configure the settings for the appropriate
protocol and forwarding of packets (16 total). Selecting a specific
protocol will indicate which protocol will be utilized in determining
the VLAN ownership of a tagged packet. Pre-set protocol-based
VLANs on the Switch include:
protocol-ip
– Using this parameter will instruct the Switch
to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet
header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header
information is based on the Ethernet protocol.
protocol-ipx802dot3
- Using this parameter will instruct the
Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet
header information is defined by Novell NetWare 802.3 (IPX -
Internet Packet Exchange).
protocol-ipx802dot2
- Using this parameter will instruct the
Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet
header information is defined by Novell NetWare 802.2 (IPX -
Internet Packet Exchange).
protocol-ipxSnap
- Using this parameter will instruct the
Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet
header information is defined by Novell and the Sub Network
Access Protocol (SNAP).
protocol-ipxEthernet2
- Using this parameter will instruct
the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet
header information is defined by Novell Ethernet II Protocol.
protocol-appleTalk
- Using this parameter will instruct the
Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet
header information is defined by the AppleTalk protocol.
protocol-decLAT
- Using this parameter will instruct the
Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet
header information is defined by the Digital Equipment
